Knowing your BRCA gene status can empower you to make informed decisions about your breast health. Schedule a call with one of our expert doctors at Silver Lining BRCA & Breast Reconstruction to assess your risk and take proactive steps for your future.
Speak with a DoctorBRCA genetic testing identifies mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which significantly increase the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers. Understanding your genetic status can help you and your healthcare provider take proactive measures to monitor and reduce your cancer risk.
Increased Risk: Women with BRCA mutations have up to a 72% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer.
Proactive Steps: Early detection and preventative measures can significantly reduce your risk.
Family History: If you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, genetic testing is crucial.
Start by scheduling a call with one of our experienced doctors.
During the call, we'll assess your risk based on your family history and other factors.
If appropriate, we'll arrange for a simple blood or saliva test. These can typically be completed in the comfort of your home and submitted via mail.
We'll discuss your results and the best next steps for your health.
If you have close relatives (such as a mother, sister, or daughter) who have been diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer, particularly at a young age, you may be at a higher risk.
Women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 50, or those with a history of ovarian cancer, should consider BRCA testing.
Families with multiple cases of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, or prostate cancer, especially if diagnosed at young ages, may have an inherited BRCA mutation.
Although rare, men with breast cancer or with a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer should consider genetic testing for BRCA mutations.
Individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent have a higher prevalence of BRCA mutations and should consider testing if there is a personal or family history of cancer.
If a relative has already tested positive for a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, genetic testing can determine if you also carry the same mutation.
